I dunno about this story

but the photo/bio generator is a BE's/doc/chef's dream come true

"For those of you who don't know, a Photo/Bio Generator generates organics. It makes milk, it makes bones, it makes meat, it makes every kind of organic in the game. It harvests it. Like any other harvester. It's really, really cool. It costs maintenance to run and you have to watch for resource shifts, just like any other harvester."

It existed in beta, and was removed. Presumably because it conflicts with scouts' creature harvesting. Too bad I can't ever seem to find a scout or ranger harvesting what I need. And too bad you can't harvest milk, eggs, mollusk or horn off of creatures.

I feel sorry for the poor sod who got something he had no idea he was not supposed to have, given to him by a Sony representative, and then was treated in typical Sony fashion.

The biggest problem with the harvesting end, it seems to be impossible to teach value... So they get frustrated.

Yeah, that's why I'm going Ranger Hunt Master. I'll get the bloody stuff myself. I may have to kill 40 million butterflies and gubers to get to it, but dammit, I'll do it myself. Can't get anyone else to pay attention long enough to actually help you out. Player interaction has to work in more than one direction.

I don't seem to be having the same resource issues with anything but milk. I have lots of eggs from searching every lair I run by. As for meat, that is what I sell my animals and pet stims for. I generally charge 500 meat for a small crate of stims. This feeds my meat addiction
